$27,000 does not seem like enough money to endure 27 bee stings simultaneously.
Dude should have asked for at least 10k/sting could have walked out with a cool $270,000 instead
Dude I’d do this for 10% of that fee. Sure stings hurt, but not that much and it passes.
True.
I will say it’s not worse than a tattoo and I’ve paid money to sit there for 6 hours being tattoo’d.
Not saying I’m tough, as I’m pretty soft, more that often it’s the thought that is worse than the thing.
The words of either someone immensely privileged or deathly allergic to bees.
Yeah, if 27k won’t significantly change your situation you are privileged.
I’m neither of those things, but I think I’m partially allergic to them. Last time I got stung by a bee in my foot, it swelled up so bad I couldn’t get a shoe on, and it was intensely painful. I have a high pain threshold, and it fucking hurt, bad. What’s weird is that I don’t have the same reaction to yellow jacket stings. Possibly because they inject less venom, but idk.
Without knowing anything about it, I’d wager that it’s generally not a good idea to mess around too much with a hive.
And picking out a bunch of drones in the amount used in film would no doubt rile up the swarm.
The way they do it is likely the best, safest and least invasive way of using live bees in a film setting.
maybe he was still in character as Kurn and took the challenge as yet another pointless Klingon pain ritual.
